Evaluation documentation read.the.docs missing information

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm interested in comparing alignment methods for some data so the "alignment evaluation" option is a very welcome addition (thank you Michael!). However, the information about running it seems incomplete.

https://montreal-forced-aligner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/implementations/alignment_evaluation.html

says "Alignments can be compared to a gold-standard reference set by specifying the --reference_directory below. MFA will load all TextGrids and parse them as if they were exported by MFA (i.e., phone and speaker tiers per speaker). "

But there's no information about the commands to run (nor in the all commands options that I can find). The phone_model_alignments (https://montreal-forced-aligner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/implementations/phone_models.html#) refers to this method but doesn't have further information. But there's an option to specify a reference directory in mfa align; is that sufficient to trigger comparison?

Describe the solution you'd like Could you provide a sample command set (or link to where it's given in the docs)?
